Alderney Black Counter Height Stool

Customer assembly is required for this item. This allows for more secure shipping and helps ensure the stool arrives in perfect condition. The process is straightforward, and following the provided instructions will help you achieve the stability and balance intended by the manufacturer for long-term safety and comfort.

Based on our expertise in leather maintenance, we recommend regularly dusting the seat with a soft, dry cloth to prevent debris from settling into the grain. For minor spills, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, but avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can strip the leather's natural oils. To keep the seat supple and prevent cracking, especially in drier climates, we suggest applying a leather conditioner every 6 to 12 months.

Absolutely. Backless stools are a premier solution for maximizing space in compact environments like urban apartments or narrow kitchen islands. Because this design lacks a backrest, it can be tucked completely underneath the counter when not in use. This keeps walkways clear and maintains the clean, minimalist lines of a contemporary modern home without creating visual clutter.

This stool is built using a heavy-duty iron frame and a genuine leather seat, materials chosen specifically for their exceptional longevity and structural integrity. Iron provides a stable, warp-resistant foundation that can withstand the rigors of daily use. Leather is a high-performance natural material that is famously durable; it resists common wear and tear better than many fabrics and, with proper care, can last 10 to 15 years while developing a unique character over time.

To ensure a comfortable fit, the industry standard is to allow for a 10 to 12-inch gap between the top of the stool’s seat and the underside of your counter. With a seat height of 26 inches, this stool is specifically engineered for standard kitchen counters that typically stand 36 inches high, providing optimal ergonomic alignment for dining or working.

While iron is incredibly durable, we recommend proactive floor protection for high-end flooring like hardwood or laminate. Using stick-on felt pads or specialized glides on the straight iron legs will prevent scratches and scuffs when the stool is moved. This simple maintenance step ensures that both your furniture and your home’s surfaces remain in pristine condition.
